Biography
Herbert McGee was a member of the Louisiana State Chapter of the Black Panther Party. Police arrested McGee and Vincent Robinson in Leesville, Louisiana, in September 1971 while they distributed literature near Fort Polk. They were charged with vagrancy and disturbing the peace, held on $585 bond and confined in a local jail that had been condemned since 1942. The available report does not give their exact booking or release dates or the final disposition.
The contemporary Leesville report follows Herbert McGee and his fellow Panther into their third day in jail, independently confirming confinement lasting more than twenty-four hours. It does not supply an exact release date or a completed custody total.
